When You Feel Like You’ve Let God Down - Crosswalk PLUS Video Devotional
Welcome Crosswalk PLUS subscribers! These raw, uncut video takes on Scripture are brought to you ad-free from the hearts of your favorite Crosswalk contributors. We'll examine a Bible verse, application and prayer in five minutes or less as an encouraging way to start any day.
Today's verse is 1 Thessalonians 5:8-10 with Jennifer Slattery.
But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.
Biblical hope is the confident assurance of the goodness to come, in this case, the glory that awaits us once we enter our eternal home. That truth holds the power to protect our minds from anyone, anything, or self-defeating conclusions that tell us we need to earn our Father's love or a seat at his holy table.
